  Gloria HarperSep 7, 2025
  If the water temperature is too hot on your Shark Pressure Washer, it could be due to several reasons: the incoming water being too warm (lower the incoming water temperature), the fuel pump pressure being too high (check specifications), a defective fuel pump (replace it), the detergent line sucking air (tighten clamps and check for holes), a defective temperature switch (replace it), an incorrect fuel nozzle size (check burner specifications), insufficient water supply (check water GPM), or restricted water flow (check the nozzle).

  Several factors can cause low water temperature in your Shark Pressure Washer. The fuel may be improper or contaminated, so replace it with clean and proper fuel. Low fuel pressure can also be a culprit; increase the fuel pressure. A weak fuel pump could be the issue, so check the fuel pump pressure and replace the pump if needed. Additionally, a partially clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow, so replace it as necessary. Soot build-up on the coils can also prevent heat transfer, so clean the coils. Finally, ensure you are using the proper burner nozzle according to the specifications.

Why is the pump noisy on my Shark SSG-403037E?
- A
  Ashlee SmithAug 28, 2025
  A noisy pump in your Shark Pressure Washer can be attributed to several issues. Air in the suction line could be a cause, so check the water supply and connections on the suction line. Broken or weak inlet or discharge valve springs can also generate noise; inspect and replace them if necessary. Excessive matter in the valves might also be the problem, so check and clean them if needed. Lastly, worn bearings can cause a noisy pump; inspect and replace them if necessary.

  Jamie MartinAug 29, 2025
  If you notice water in the oil of your Shark Pressure Washer, it could be due to a worn oil seal, which should be checked and replaced if necessary. High humidity in the air can also contribute to this issue, so consider changing the oil twice as often.

  If water is dripping from under the pump of your Shark Pressure Washer, it could be due to several reasons. The piston packing might be worn, the O-Ring plunger retainer could be worn, or the piston may be cracked. Check and replace these components if necessary. Additionally, the pump protector may be activated; lower the water supply pressure and avoid running the unit with the spray gun closed for longer than 2 minutes.

Why won't the burner motor run on my Shark SSG-403037E Pressure Washer?
- J
  John KleinSep 12, 2025
  If the burner motor won't run on your Shark Pressure Washer, it could be due to a seized fuel pump (replace the fuel pump), a loose or misaligned burner fan (position correctly and tighten the set screw), a defective control switch (replace the switch), a loose wire (check, replace, or tighten the wiring), or a defective burner motor (replace the motor).

What to do if my Shark SSG-403037E has fluctuating pressure?
- M
  Melinda FoleySep 14, 2025
  Fluctuating pressure in your Shark Pressure Washer can be caused by several factors. Worn valves or blockages in the valve can lead to inconsistent pressure; inspect and replace if necessary. The pump sucking air can also cause this issue; check the water supply and for air seepage at joints in the suction line. Additionally, worn piston packing can contribute to fluctuating pressure; inspect and replace if necessary. Lastly, if you are using a gasoline engine, it is preset for operation at altitudes below 1000 ft above sea level. If operated at higher altitudes, it may be necessary to install a high altitude main jet in the carburetor.
